RAF St Davids
About
RAF St Davids opened in Pembrokeshire in 1943 as a Coastal Command station flying long-range anti-submarine patrols over the Atlantic. Handley Page Halifaxes and Consolidated Liberators of Nos. 58, 502, 53 and 220 Squadrons hunted U-boats far out over the western approaches, and a meteorological squadron also flew from the field. The military finally left in 1992, and the site, with its runways still intact, is now open land managed by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
